Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 25, 1916.

Application filed October 16, 1914. Serial No. 867,030.

To aZLw/wm it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD B. T. SCHU- MACHER, a citizen of the UnitedStates of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of lVayne andState of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCombined Pipe and Match Holders for Tobacco-Jars, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyingdrawings.

The invention relates to match and pipe holders, and it is the object ofthe invention to obtain a simple construction which is attachable to atobacco jar.

To this end the invention comprises the construction as hereinafter setforth.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the attachmentshowing the jar in dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing themanner .of engaging the clamping band; and Fig. 3 is a horizontalsection.

A is a metallic band, which at one or more points is bent to form loopsB constituting pipe holders. These loops are preferably of circular formand join with the main band by parallel portions C which are riveted orotherwise secured to each other.

D is the match box holder struck up from sheet metal to have theparallel front and back walls E F, bottom G and side flanges H forclamping the box. The holder is attached to the band by providing thelatter with return bent hooks I which are engageable with the holderpreferably by formin L-shaped slits J in the inner wall thereo as shownin Fig. 2. This permits of sliding the hook I into engagement with theflange formed by the L-shaped slit while the band is in engagement withthe jar, and the resiliency of the metal is suflicient to produce theclamping effect.

What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination with a metallic bandfor surrounding a jar having returnbent hooks at its opposite ends, of amatch box holder struck-up from a single sheet metal blank, havingL-shaped slits therein for detachable engagement with said hooks whilesaid band surrounds the jar and forming a tie connection therebetween.

2. The combination of a resilient metallic band for surrounding a jar,and having a loop formed in the intermediate portion thereofconstituting a pipe holder, and a match-box holder having L-shaped slitsfor detachably engaging the ends of said band and forming a tieconnection therebetween.

3. The combination with a resilient metallic band for surrounding a jarhaving returnbent hooked ends and an intermediate portion bent to form aplurality of outwardly-extending closed loops, and a matchbox holderstruck up from sheet metal having L-shaped slits for detachableengagement with said returnbent hooks and forming a tie connectiontherebetween.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of a witness.

EDWARD B. T. SCHUMACHER.
